Croke Park

Asked for further information about any act of commemoration at Croke Park next weekend, the PMOS replied that clearly, the first match at Croke Park had been special in its own right. The second match, because of the teams involved, had also a significance around it. However, first and foremost, this was a game of rugby, and that was how both the IRFU and the GAA wanted to treat it, and that was entirely how it should be. What was entirely proper was that there should have been discussions about how we should handle it, but a consensus had been reached, and we fully supported that consensus. The PMOS said that he was not going to get into processology about the discussions, but they were normal discussions that took place around any event such as this one, and they were nothing out of the ordinary.

Asked what the end result would be, the PMOS replied that this would be a rugby match which would treated like any other, and we could all begin to speculate about what the result might be, which was the important thing come this time next week! The PMOS added that he was making no predictions, as he was aware that he would be standing up in front of everyone this time next week as well!
